Sergio Mendes: Six Decades of Joy From Music


Listen Later

From his pioneering contributions to bossa nova to the era-defining Latin-pop sound of his iconic group Brasil ’66, Brazilian artist Sergio Mendes exploded onto the American music scene in the 1960s. He quickly produced many hit songs which earned him spots on some of the most popular television programs of the time, and he was invited by Presidents Nixon and Reagan to perform at the White House. He has recorded more than 35 albums, many of which went gold or platinum. He’s also a three-time Grammy® Award winner and an Oscar®-nominated songwriter.
